Package: src:linux
Version: 3.10.11-1
Severity: normal
File: linux
Dear Maintainer,
It seems that a previously-fixed bug has crept back into the system.
Bug #366940 (which I can't re-open because it's archived) is occurring with my
shiny Debian Jessie.
Direct Link: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=366940
Specifically this is causing problems with file editors, which believe the
files have been externally modified,
and thus are popping up dialogues requesting the file be re-loaded from disk a
couple of seconds after every
save. This, as you can imagine, becomes very irritating, very quickly.
I have researched and done my own "hacking" and have found two ways of
preventing this bug occurring:
1) echo 1 > /proc/fs/cifs/LookupCacheEnabled
2) add "actimeo=0" to the mount flags
Here is my output showing the problem occur:
root@linux-dev64:/mnt/simon# uname -a
Linux linux-dev64 3.10-3-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.10.11-1 (2013-09-10)

As I said, this is just an annoyance to me, there's no data loss associated
with it or anything that'd justify a high
priority; and I've got workarounds.
I'm just reporting that a supposedly-fixed bug is actually still occurring.
I've removed some of the more pointless information below (like what PCI
devices I have etc). No point filling a bug report
with useless tat :-).

Hi
This bug was filed for a very old kernel or the bug is old itself
without resolution.
If you can reproduce it with
- the current version in unstable/testing
- the latest kernel from backports
please reopen the bug, see https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control
for details.
Regards,
Salvatore
